The narrow bodies

BA Mainline operates short-haul services from its London Heathrow base with variants of the Airbus A320 family

BA EuroFlyer operates BA's short haul services from its London Gatwick base using Airbus A320s (types 20E and M0A), which are supported by Airbus A320s (type 32G) and Airbus A321s (type 21V) brought in from the mainline fleet. 

The London City network is operated by BA CityFlyer exclusively with Embraer 190 aircraft. These aircraft were converted in 2024 from 98 to 106 seats

Wet-leases

During 2025, British Airways has contracted additional aircraft from third-party airlines so it can provide its planned network coverage. This arrangement is a stop-gap until new aircraft are received from Airbus and Boeing.

At London Gatwick, two Titan Airways Airbus 320s operate BA EuroFlyer services and BA's LGW service to/from Glasgow is operated by ATRs wet leased from Aer Lingus Regional
